Well definitely making progress and really believe on the cusp of breaking through. In sense of getting more consistent and having it all come together!
Driving, although I am not a bomber being able to hit way more fairways and confidence is at max on tee.
Irons really coming around and directional control starting to get way better.
Putting made me crazy yesterday. On the practice green worked on 6 feet and closer, been very inconsistent in that range where it should be 99% in my book. And I was terrible in practice and had 19 putts on front. Started off 2 putt bogey, should have been par save but missed 5 footer! Then promptly sunk 16 footer for birdie on next par 4.Then the wheels fell off with back to back 3 putts and 2 putts rest of the front 9 . Ugh! had too many doubles and one triple for 49. Upside, birdie got me a $30 skin. But 49, blah!
Back nine got focused and shot 43. One triple on longest par 4. But 13 putts and 3 pars so pretty consistent.
I say I am on cusp, again because most of blow ups have been focus and am getting feel with U wedge as I replaced it instead of lob wedge from 45 yds. out.
OKAY BIG ISSUE asking for comments or suggestions!

I like these changes to swing with ball placement and hands & weight forward. And to add yesterday went with attention to 85% swing and made a difference in directional control(talking irons).
But with old swing(don't want it back for sure), my best and most consistent clubs that I had a load of confidence in were my 3 & 5 fairway woods.
All of a sudden,it's like more terrible hits and tops (never topped before) then every before and have lost total confidence from the fairway with them!
Now with ball alignment placement I use the same spot for my clubs, changing and widening the stance and align a closed stance a little on the longer clubs(ALA Hogan), except on chipping and pitching.
Do I move my fairway woods to a middle placement in my stance?
It is at the point were I have pulled my 3 crossover iron in spots where I wood have hit a 5 out of the rough with decent lie or 3 off fairway.
Is this brain cramp or loss of confidence?
Suggestions needed and wanted!
Thanks
